Aspire Zone Foundation (AZF) organised a table tennis tournament for the differently abled as part of the Ramadan Sports Festival. The tournament, held in cooperation with Qatar Paralympic Committee, is the only one of its kind happening in Qatar during Ramadan. Forty-five participants took part and were divided into four categories – hearing, motor, vision and mental impairments.
Salem Nasser won in the motor impairment group, Mustafa Amin in the hearing disability group, Hamad Ali Al Marri from the visual disability team and Salman Al Sharshani in the mental disability group. Noof Al Saffar, a member of the organising committee of the festival, said: “This event holds a special place in the heart of Aspire Zone after it became one of our fixed events for the Ramadan sporting calendar. As Aspire Zone, we are looking to engage all community members in sport, regardless of their skills and disabilities.”
